Transport


I'm looking for a heavy duty vintage CD Player to use as a transport. Not sure what model and make to purchase.

Definitely Alesis Master Link
it has very solid transport for using with external DAC

The Oppo has a superior laser because it is also blu-ray.  Get an Oppo, even used and a Synchro-Mesh reclocker and you have a world-class transport:

Older transports often have only one laser.  You need three to get good tracking and reads.  Also, C3 correction is a plus for scratched disks.  Some newer transports will have this.

Thanks I will look into your recommendation. I'm also interested in the Border Patrol DAC. I cant find a CD Player in my price range that can give me the air and bloom my TT set has. Any feedback would be appreciated.
